DESCRIPTION:Abstract: We have used biochemical methods and genetic approac
 hes in a variety of organisms ranging from worms to man to investigate how
  cells sense oxygen\, and what they do in response to changes in its avail
 ability.  This has uncovered a highly conserved pathway which operates in 
 all metazoans.  It is important in development\, physiology and disease 
 – perhaps most notably in cancer.  The underlying oxygen sensing mechani
 sm can be activated by small molecules which are now being tested as thera
 pies for anaemia and ischaemic conditions.
